At 17:08 hrs a tourist shuttle train was departing from the UK terminal when a road coach moved backwards relative to the train, trapping the coach’s driver against the internal fire barrier door. Another passenger activated the emergency alarm to alert the train crew. As the train stopped the coach moved forward releasing the coach driver. The coach driver received injuries that required him to be admitted to hospital for treatment.
